More Spellbinders Fun!

Hello!  Popping in with a couple of cards that I made with a set of dies that I recently purchased from Spellbinders called Kaleidoscope Petals.  They have several different kaleidoscope die sets and I have most of them.  I just love the look they create.  Since I just got them I wanted to put them to use and so I did... twice!  For the first card I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the colors from Color Throwdown.   I will also be adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.  The die set has three different dies:  a top, middle and bottom.  I cut the top and bottom dies from the same color of cardstock (pink, orange and blue) and the middle one from white.  I then layered all the pieces together and arranged them on a die cut rectangle of white cardstock.    Since I have been using butterflies a lot lately I decided to not use one for this card and instead I die cut a Spellbinders layered flower and leaf from light gray cardstock.  I thought about using white, but I decided to try something a little different by using the light gray and I really like how it turned out.   I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne and then adhered the flower and the leaves.  The panel was adhered to a card base made from the same light gray as the flower and then I finished off the card with tiny sparkling clear Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

The second card is going to the current Sunday Stamps challenge and the Paper Players challenge to use heat embossing.  I only embossed the large sentiment so hopefully that is enough.  I die cut the petals from purple, green and gold mirror cardstock (although in the photo it doesn't look gold) and then adhered them together.  I used a circular kaleidoscope die set to create a piece made from yellow and green cardstock.   I then die cut a strip of white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment (from Spellbinders) in VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed in black embossing powder.  That piece was adhered to a white cardstock panel and then I layered on all the petals to make it looked like a half flower finishing it off with the circular piece.   The rest of the sentiment was stamped in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne on white cardstock, trimmed down and adhered.
